As founder of the world’s largest bitcoin (BTC) treasury company, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), many people were hoping Michael Saylor would have taken a position of leadership in this year’s civil war between Bitcoin Core and Knots node operators. Unfortunately, when an audience member at his Bitcoin Treasuries NYC Unconference yesterday asked him about the contentious change to OP_RETURN at the heart of the disagreement, he failed to provide any satisfactory answer. Paul Sztorc called it a “bulls*** pro-ossification answer” that demonstrated “no actual knowledge of the issues.” “One of the most word salad statements I have ever heard,” commented another. Embroiled in disagreement for nearly a year over Bitcoin Core’s contentious accommodation for arbitrary data storage, Knots dissidents have been running software to protest Core’s change . Unlike Core version 30 (v30), Knots software will retain a deterrent against most arbitrary datacarrier use of OP_RETURN...

In a controversial, late-night tweet, Strategy founder Michael Saylor even suggested selling a kidney to hold onto bitcoin (BTC). Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin. — Michael Saylor️ (@saylor) February 28, 2025 His 11pm tweet with BTC’s price below $80,000 was even more contentious than his March 2021 advice to “ go mortgage your house and buy bitcoin with it ” that earned him months of derision. BTC went on to trade below his advisory prices for years and wouldn’t settle into a higher average price range until February 2024.

The last four times Michael Saylor announced a corporate bitcoin (BTC) purchase at Strategy, his stock price declined. In previous years, the market has generally reacted positively to his tweets. Although the company’s average cost basis per bitcoin is $66,357 — still well below current prices — Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has lost money on each of the company’s last 13 purchases.

Saylor’s last four BTC acquisition tweets sent MSTR lower over the following days. As bitcoin paused and then retraced the run-up to Donald Trump’s January inauguration, MSTR shareholders have benefited less and less from the company’s increasing BTC cost basis. MSTR trades lower on Saylor’s last four purchases Saylo...

Bitcoin (BTC) maximalist and Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor recently appeared for an interview with CNBC host Morgan Brennan. Saylor and Brennan spoke about the recent BTC price spike. BTC’s latest rally took Microstrategy’s BTC ROI to over 100%. The company currently holds over $20 billion worth of BTC. According to Saylor, there has been a significant change in how the cryptocurrency sector is viewed in the political landscape. Saylor highlights that the shift in the political landscape and support from financial institutions such as BlackRock has created a favorable environment for Bitcoin (BTC). Saylor dismissed the possibility of BTC falling to $60,000. Instead, the BTC maximalist believes the original crypto will breach the $100,000 level before the year ends.
